The 75th Cannes Film Festival ends this Saturday evening, and you have planned an aperitif with informed moviegoers? Twenty-one films will be in competition, and so as not to be completely dropped in the discussion, here is a little reminder of the last ten Palmes d’Or. Which will allow you to subtly place: “I think it’s deserved, yes… but quite frankly, it’s not worth the Palme 2012…”
2021 – Titanium by Julia Ducournau (France)
2020 – Attention, trap: do not mention the Palme 2020, the festival did not take place that year, Covid-19 obliges (if you still make the mistake, say that it was a trap to see if your interlocutors follow).
2019 – Parasite by Bong Joon-ho (South Korea)
2018 – A Family Affair by Hirokazu Kore-Eda (Japan)
2017 – The Square by Ruben Östlund (Sweden)
2016 – I, Daniel Blake by Ken Loach (Great Britain)
2015 – Dheepan by Jacques Audiard (France)
2014 – Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turquie) in Winter Sleep
2013 – The Life of Adele by Abdellatif Kechiche (France)
2012 – Love by Michael Haneke (Austria)
2011 – The Tree of Life de Terrence Malick (Etats-Unis)
